TEAM ONE ROSTER

Stetson Allie

IF/RHP

St. Edward HS, Lakewood, Ohio

With his big thighs, broad shoulders and barrel chest, Allie is built like an ox. Because of his size, his game has a lot of strength.

The North Carolina recruit also has an 89 mph slider and a changeup.

Felts is a very solid defender who flashes a 1.8-second pop time. He hits with some authority too, with a line drive approach to all fields.

Ryan Ford

1B

Plano West HS, Plano, Texas

Ford is a powerful hitter, with natural lift and pull-side power. Ford drops his bat head on the ball quickly and the ball explodes off his bat. He is smooth at first base and has potential above-average ability there.

Grandview HS, Centennial, Colo.

With a long and lean frame, Gausman has good projectability for a prep pitcher. His fastball sits between 89-91 mph and he can get it up to 93. He mixes in a 77 mph breaking ball that he throws for strikes, and everything is around the zone.

Evan Rutckyj

LHP

St. Joseph’s HS, St. Thomas, Ontario

Rutckyj (pronounced ROOT-skee) doesn’t have a lot of baseball experience, but offers a lot of physicality and projection. The 6-foot-5 lefthander recently gave up hockey to focus on baseball and he’s already touching 90 mph.

Jameson Taillon

RHP

The Woodlands (Texas) HS

Taillon’s big frame is likely maxed out, but he has established himself as one of the top pitchers in the upcoming draft class. His fastball sits in the 92-93 mph range and Taillon also throws a harder slider at 84-85 and a sharp curveball that registers at 82-83 mph.

Austin Wilson

OF

Harvard Westlake HS, Los Angeles

Already a chiseled 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds, Wilson is a physical specimen who stands out on the field. He’s an average runner but has a cannon for an arm, and he should have the size, athleticism and tools to be a special player.

A.J. Cole

RHP

Oviedo (Fla.) HS

Cole is long and lanky and has the projection scouts can dream on. But, even if he doesn’t fill out, he already throws 88-91 mph and touches 93 with clean, effortless mechanics. He mixes in a 78 mph knuckle -curve that he throws for strikes.

Deshun Dixon

OF/RHP

Terry HS, Jackson, Miss.

Smaller than his brother Rashun, a prospect in the Athletics organization, Deshun is an athletic and exciting player.
